This game is about defending your homeland...
Imagine being a farmer, in a calm Maxico... when suddenly a crazy horde of heavy armed Vikings decide on pillaging your farm.... what do you do?!
Yes that's it! Build a tower, and defend your land from there.
Watch out for those Vikings with axes, and them helicopters shooting rockets at your tower.
Also don't forget to replenish your minimal ammo supply, or you will die very fast!
Try to stay alive for as long as possible.

I laughed ! Nice entry :D

This game is slanderous against vikings!

(Uhm, using sounds from the internets is technically against the rules.)

Liked the game a lot. Pretty well balanced between having to take some damage to conserve ammo. Nicely done.

Under the bright potato sun.

I can't believe that somebody had beaten the highscore! Billkney 119 points!!

Nice little defense game. :) Dat potato sun.

I gotta say, those dialogue noises were quite humorous.

magnpeas30 Apr 2013, 17:30

Looks good and it's fun to play

HelkeGames30 Apr 2013, 18:57

Nice game, love the graphic! :)

Cool art and fun sounds! Great entry. But man it's hard.

bvanschooten30 Apr 2013, 19:18

Nice little game. I like the graphics. I also like the sound, but since you can't use 3rd party sound on the 48h compo I rated as if no sound.

QXD-me30 Apr 2013, 19:21

Pretty funny, although as jolle said you aren't allowed to use sounds (or any content) from the internet. You might want to take a look at the rules for next time.

TriBeard30 Apr 2013, 19:21

Interesting idea, but it didn't feel very balanced to me. I think it would've helped to have a specific 'low on ammo' click noise to remind you that you're running. Got potential though!

badlydrawnrod30 Apr 2013, 19:27

Amusing. However, as a Mexican Viking I can't help but to feel a little uncomfortable at your characterization :)

Squared Muffin30 Apr 2013, 19:28

Pretty random background story xD

AestheticGamer30 Apr 2013, 19:30

I feel that if the difficulty was ramped up a bit as time went on, it'd be a lot more fun. I also feel music could of done wonders, or maybe ways to expand or upgrade your own tower. For what it is though, it's a few minutes of fun, and does well enough on the minimal theme.

A nice little game. Can be challenging at time when trying to get out of a tight spot. Nice work!

tiffi30 Apr 2013, 19:52

arriba arriba andale andale!! +1 for the potato sun

Tainted_Code30 Apr 2013, 19:53

Yeahhh! I came 2nd (just below Aesthetic) but I used the name 'dsada' or something because I couldn't be bothered using name xD Fun little game though. Bit boring after a bit! :(v

GingerMess30 Apr 2013, 19:53

I raised an eyebrow at the sound effects, but the potato sun made up for it. All hail our starch-based provider of light!

nintendoeats30 Apr 2013, 19:54

Oh, that's actually pretty cool! deciding when to send out your ammo dude. That's a neat resource-manamgment system you've got there. I also approve of the sound design.

loxo30 Apr 2013, 20:00

I like the graphics of the game, especially the sun.

Alex Rose30 Apr 2013, 20:03

First time I played this, I didn't realise that you could reload at all, and I found it absolutely hilarious. Like.. stuff just coming and destroying everything because I have minimal ammo; I thought that was the whole point!

Anyway, I played again once I found out how it works. It's really hard! But, yeah, awesome entry. Love the Fish and Chips shop too. Nice one.

klianc0930 Apr 2013, 20:09

Are that vikings raiding in mexico with a helicopter with Silvester rockets and a potato sun? Well if it's nothing else.
Just hammering on Space solves all Ammo problems... and once the vikings block your ammo supply and you don't have any left, you can't do anything anymore...
I also played until I was on the top of the highscores? Is that bad?

jhonpi30 Apr 2013, 20:12

Andale arriba!, i like the sound. Good job.

Mach60KAS30 Apr 2013, 20:21

I liked the graphics as well as the difficulty of the game. Good job!

Mekuri30 Apr 2013, 20:43

Very funny game, and good idea. I'm not entirely sure those are homemade sounds though?
Apart from that- Great game!

Purplescape30 Apr 2013, 23:01

This game is hilarious and fun! I like the bright graphics. It really fits the theme too.

Ray_Mickelino1 May 2013, 03:19

Awesome. Way to go!

Zccc1 May 2013, 12:04

Very funny!

lightnarcissus2 May 2013, 04:11

Quite funny and it had enjoyable mechanics on top of that, so I'm not complaining. :D

EdoMiyamoto2 May 2013, 10:29

Solid base for a good game !

bytegrove2 May 2013, 13:58

Funny game with a clever use of the theme! Nice, cute graphics . My only complaint is that it didn't feel like the difficulty increased as you played. The ammo guy is awesome! :)
